About us

Welcome to Grounds & Leaves! ☕🍃
This is Austin’s community for everyone who believes that coffee and Yerba mate and tea are not just drinks, but a global morning ritual. From the rich traditions of coffee brewing in countries like Turkey and Iran, to the deep-rooted heritage of Yerba Mate in South America and/or Syria, or other rituals for infusions, caffeine connects cultures.
Whether you weigh your beans for a precise V60 pour-over, enjoy the traditional art of cebar, or are fascinated by the distinct brewing methods from around the world, this is a space for cultural exchange and great company. We are a community of home baristas, Yerba mate lovers, and tea lovers and global minds who want to escape the laptop screens and connect over meaningful conversations. No snobbery here—just good vibes and shared traditions.
What we do:
We meet on weekend mornings at some of Austin's best outdoor patios and green spaces. Bring your favorite thermos, your mate, or your home-brewed specialty coffee (or just grab a cup at the venue). Come ready to share tips, explore different international coffee and tea cultures, and meet great people in the city.
Whether you're looking to share brewing techniques, learn about caffeine rituals from other countries, or just enjoy an informal cultural exchange, join us!
